This is going to happen at most colleges.

quote:

In an effort to "adapt to the quickly changing NCAA landscape," Loyola Marymount University has announced that it will be eliminating six athletic programs at the end of the 2023-24 season due to new rules regarding name, image and likeness and "pending rulings on student-athletes as employees"


quote:

"We are in a time of exponential and rapid change across intercollegiate athletics, requiring that LMU Athletics also adapt to be competitive and successful in the future," Pintens wrote. "This was a complex decision that was made after carefully considering various internal and external factors, in consultation with external partners and select university leadership."




The 6 teams are three men's teams (rowing, cross-country and track and field) and three women's teams (rowing, swimming and track and field).

Unless they do something about this then this is about to become an avalanche towards the destruction of college sports.

The race-baiters and do-gooders who clamored for NIL don't care. As long as they can destroy the primary sports, their goals are achieved.

Loyola with their 0 players drawing enough interest to garner nil money??? Naw... that's not what caused this.

God damn this makes my heart happy. We all knew this was going to happen and now the universities that have been peddling this bullshite will have to actually look a woman in the face and tell her she no longer has a scholarship because of it. I'm even more excited for the tax evasion arrest but that will take a year or 2.

What would Arkansas fans post about if this happens in the SEC?

I wouldn't say I like it for the kids. But for the bleeding heart liberals, it is a good thing.

The unintended consequences bite them again because they have no idea what they are doing.

It will get much worse.

The benefactors of this will be small DI's, DII/DII and NAIA/JUCO.

Those places are still built on the foundation of what college sports was, an opportunity to continue playing sports, usually in or around your local community.
